Abstract
A method for performing an in-memory computation includes: storing data in memory cells of a memory array, the data including weights for computation; determining whether an update command to change at least one of the weights is received; in response to receiving the update command, performing a write operation on the memory array to update the at least one weight; and disabling the write operation on the memory array until receiving a next update command to change the at least one weight.
